Sobre este artículo
New York: Penguin, 2009. Book. Good. Trade Paperback. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Some nearly invisible spotting to the fore-edge just showing in the margins at the back; minor reading curve to the spine, light shelf rubbing, little wear overall. Text is clean. 'After September 11th, [the author's] crucial book Taliban introduced us to that now notorious regime. In his new work, [he] examines Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Central Asia as well as the corridors of power in Washington and Europe to see how the promised nation building has progressed. His conclusions are devastating: an unstable and nuclear-armed Pakistan, a renewed Al Qaeda, and a Taliban resurgence and reconquest. As he predicted, Pakistan and Afghanistan are now where the real war is. His blistering critique of American policy is a dire warning and an impassioned call to correct our failed strategies.' 498 pages..
Sinopsis
After September 11th , Ahmed Rashid's crucial book Taliban introduced American readers to that now notorious regime. In this new work, he returns to Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Central Asia to review the catastrophic aftermath of America's failed war on terror. Called "Pakistan's best and bravest reporter" by Christopher Hitchens, Rashid has shown himself to be a voice of reason amid the chaos of present-day Central Asia. Descent Into Chaos is his blistering critique of American policy-a dire warning and an impassioned call to correct these disasterous strategies before these failing states threaten global stability and bring devastation to our world.
